Great update, nice and early so the east/pacific coast can get to the store early enough to pick up some PSN Cards before they close on A TUESDAY no less!

Sonic Generations is a good addition to the digital PS3 library, great game, but is the pre-order bonus Casino Night Zone ever going to be there too? It’s a shame really, whoever’s idea was that really messed up big time, should have just made it a free early download for preorders and released it later on for regular gamers.

The Summer Sale is great, not to mention some other deals there as well. Playstation Plus really sweetens the deal on the Summer Sale offers too.

The icing the cake would have been a Vita update with PSone Classic playback, even with such a bad Vita update this week. Even the PS3 update would have been bad weren’t it for the sale.

Thanks Morgan, since I’m a cheapskate, the price updates section is the first part of the store update that I read. I guess I’m your least favorite customer, but I’ve spent about $150 on PSN within the last year :-)

I have over 800 downloads in my Account, you guys really need a better organization setup for those of us who buy a lot of content from you. You should have an option to sort alphabetically, by add-ons, by Plus downloads, and by themes/avatars.

Great update this week, epic. I’m in for Jurassic Park, NBA Jam, and Closure. Was going to get Gotham City Imposters too, but now it’s free in Plus, so. . . don’t mind if I do. One other question – How long before you guys put a discount on I Am Alive? I’ve had my eye on that since it came out.

Keep up the good work with these early updates! I’m tempted to pick up Closure at 50% off, but I already have too many games on my plate right now, and I’d imagine that one will end up discounted even more (or possibly free) with PS+ in a few months.

This is ridiculous. I agree now that these digital prices are pathetic. I no longer will buy games and when my plus ends I won’t renew. You guys that run the store have no clue what your doing and should all be fired. Its a joke how you guys constantly make mistakes that cost us money and time till till of ever when you fix it. These coming soon gets on my nerves that you constantly say. Sony has went down hill and went major greedy it’s sad. I told people the vita wouldn’t get supported and all I got from Sony fanboys is that at E3 I’ll see and here we are a month after E3 and still hardly any support on vita. Sony you guys are really a joke. I hardly play games anymore I mostly use my ps3 for netflix and vudu. What a shame.

I have a quick question, great update btw, I see Dead Space 2 is down to $19.99 and under the “price drop” label. Is this a permanent price drop? Too many games to buy this week and my BR of Dead Space 2 Snapped trying to open it :)

If there’s a South Park: Stick of Truth trailer, does that mean that it’s no longer an Xbox 360 exclusive? Because if that’s true, it’s totally time for me to get rid of my 360. That game has been the only reason I’ve kept it until now.

Man…………when is vita update 1.8 coming just announced but that realllllllly needs to get here quick………. what about a final fantasy game for vita this is killing me come on sony please hurry up and shame on you square enix go back to the good old square soft days……

Thanks for the update got my free Max3 dlc :) but one suggestion if you want people to purchase full games on this service there needs to be trials on all of those items and previews on all content ps1, psp, psn, etc.
